Revision 13, dated 9/79, which required the program to be reviewed at each

station periodically, and no less frequently than annually by the Station

Senior Quality Assurance Engineer. The purpose of this review will be to

revise the surveillance frequencies as necessary, assure adequate scope,

and revise attributes to be examined if needed. Results of this review

will be documented.

The inspector additionally reviewed a Planned Audit scheduled for

October 1979, in which the Quality Assurance Department will be audited by

a Joint Utility Management Group. Based on the above, the inspector deter-

mined the controls in place meet the requirements of Criterion II. This

item is closed.

(Closed) Items (369/78-39-02), Consumable /Expendables Items Interior to

Structures and (369/78-39-03) Consumable / Expendable Items Exterior to

Structures, Systems, and Components. The inspector reviewed the McGuire

Nuclo r Station Nuclear Safety Related Structures, Systems and Components,

Revision 3, dated 9/79, which established the criteria for designation of

.

Consumable / Expendable items.

In Table 1 of that document several

consumable / expendable items were identified and classified, including items

interior and iteL' exterior to safety related structures, systems and

components.

This item is closed.

(Closed) Item (369/78-39-04) Guidance Versus Requitement in QCK-1. The

The inspector reviewed

the Administration Policy hanual for Nuclear Station, revised 9/79 to

include a comparison chart of ANSI N18.7 1976, requirements versus

Administration Policy Manual for Nuclear Stations.

The above mentioned

chart meets the requirements of an index for cross-reference. This item is

closed.

(Closed) Item (369/78-39-06) Drawing Control Program. An audit of con-

trolled drawings was conducted and discrepancies found were corrected by

the licensee.

This area was reinspected by a review of methods used to

audit the drawing control program implementation. After discussing the

audit with licensee personnel and reviewing objective evidence that the

audit had taken place, the inspector verified corrective action by in-

. . -

specting forty (40) different sets of drawings in three separate locations.

Based on the inspector's review of this area, this item is closed.

(Closed) Item (369/78-39-07) Vendor Instruction Manual Control. The in-

spector reviewed a licensee commitment letter dated September 26, 1979,

which indicated that a cover sheet accompanying manual changes was to be

placed in' the front of each manufacturer's instruction manual. The cover

sheet was to contain the following information; instruction manual number

and its document control data, document control data of insertion, list of

pages to be removed and list of pages to be inserted. Also, each new sheet

to be inserted will be stamped with the document control date to verify

that it is the latest issue. A licensee review of vendor manuals to insure

placement of revision pages was in progress, to be completed prior to

1/1/80, as determined by observation of objective evidence. Based on the

inspectors review of the above, this item is closed.

(Closed) Item (369/78-39-08) Maintenance Scheduling. The inspector veri-

,

fied that the licensee has implemented a Computer Program to schedule

maintenance. The computer program contained such information for safety-

related structures, systems and ccmponents as name of component, designa-

tion, frequency and type of maintenance. This item is closed.

(Closed) Item (369/78-39-09) Preventive Maintenance. The inspector veri-

fied that, Station Directive 3.2-1, Revision 3, dated 7/79, Identification,

Scheduling and Performance of Plant Testing contained the requirement that

testing following maintenance insured that functional capability of com-

ponents is not impaired following maintenance and that all safety-related

components will receive a functional verification prior to returning the

component to service. This item is closed.

(0 pen) Items (369/78-39-10), (369/78-39-11) and (360/78-39-12), Design

Change Requirements. The inspector, in discussion with the licensee,

determined that the Administration Policy Manual for Nuclear Station

(ADM/NS) Section 3.3 was under revision to meet the requirements of ANSI

N45.2.11 - 1974Property "ANSI code" (as page type) with input value "ANSI</br></br>N45.2.11 - 1974" contains invalid characters or is incomplete and therefore can cause unexpected results during a query or annotation process. and had not been approved. Until such time as Section 3.3

of the ADM/NS is approved and reviewed by the NRC, these three (3) items

remain open.

(Closed) Item (369/78-39-13), Surveillance Testing.

'

this part is open.

(Closed) Item (369/78-39-16) Control of Limited Shelf-Life Items. The

inspector reviewed sufficient documentation such as computer program gen-

erated work requests that were issued for the removal of batteries from

stock, and for the checking of expiration of shelf-life of numerous items.

In addition to the computer program, the inspector reviewed Enclosure 3.9.6

of the Chemistry Manual, which requires a verification of reagent's validity

pEior to performing an analysis. This item is closed.

(Closed) Item (369/78-39-17) Shipping Damage Inspector's Qualifications.

The inspector reviewed QCG-1, Receipt Inspection and Controls of Materials,

Revision 11, dated 4/79, which assures that personnel performing inspec-

tions are QA Inspector Qualified. The inspector reviewed six (6) quali-

fication records and determined the records contained the required

information. This item is closed.

(Closed) Item (369/78-39-18) Adequacy of Periodic Inspection Plans of the

Licensee.

The inspector reviewed QCG-3, Inspection of Items in Storage,

dated 4/79, which meets the requirements of Section 6.2 and 6.4.1 of ANSI

N45.2.2Property "ANSI code" (as page type) with input value "ANSI</br></br>N45.2.2" contains invalid characters or is incomplete and therefore can cause unexpected results during a query or annotation process..

indicated by review of objective evidence such as stickers in storage

locations.

The inspector then randomly selected shelf items to determine

if their location was accurately reflected on the computer listing; he then

randomly selected listed items to verify their correct shelf locations.

This later technique revealed a pattern of discrepancies concerning items

which had recently been moved. The licensee then conducted a review of

over 1500 items recently moved and discovered 50 errors representing a

error rate. An analytical breakdown revealed that at least 1.5% of tLe %

error rate could be achieved by greater attention to filling out input

forms correctly. This retraining was satisfactorily conducted and dis-

covered errors corrected. Based on the preceeding licensee actions in this

area, this item is closed.

- (Closed) Item (369/78-39-21), Periodic Inspection of Handling Equipment.

The inspector reviewed Station Directive 3.3.3, Control of Slings and

Lifting Devices, approved 6/76, which requires an inspection of slings each

day a sling is used.

If a sling is used more than one shift per day or

subject to other severe service requirements it shall be inspected prior to

its use.

The results of the inspection are documented on a Plant Work

Order. This item is closed.

(Closed) Item (369/78-39-22), Rodent /Small Animal / Ire.act Control. The

inspector reviewed an approved Requisition, dated 9/75, for a contractor to

provide Rodent and Pest Control for Mcbaire Station effective November 1979.

This item is closed.

(Closed) Items (369/78-39-23) and 369/78-39-24), Record Storage at Company

Office, Record Storage at McGuire Stttion. The inspector found that at the

Company Offices, the Quality records were either in storage at the vault or

had been transferred to McGuire Station Master Files. The record storage

facilities were reinspected and in discussion with the licensee, it was

determined that the licensee has opted to follow NFPA 232-1975 as allowed

by the committed QA Program (Regulatory Guide 1.88). Chapter 5, Section

5242.b of NFPA-232, allows the degree of protection for Class 1 records by

housing them in a standard fire resistive vault or in safes, or record

protection equipment having a fire rating comparable with the maximum fire

hazard to which they may be exposed. The inspector determined that the

Master Files at McGuire did not have installed fire-door dampers where the

ventilation ducts penetrate the facility, but did provide the provision of

a complete shutdown of all air handling equipment in the building in event

of a fire detection / protection system alarm. The inspector informed the

'

licensee the NRC may reinspect the record storage facility if further

guidance was received. These items are closed.

(Closed) Item (369/78-39-25) Failure to Establish Master Calibration

Schedule. The inspector verified that the licensee had established a

master surveillance schedule for the test and measurement equipment. The

inspector interviewed a health physicist and determined the schedule was

complete and up to date for the amount of equipment in use. hheremaining

equipment was scheduled for calibration for the first quarter of 1980.

This item is closed.

(Closed) Item (369/78-39-26), Standards and Testing Facility Recordkeeping.

The inspector reviewed Sections 7.1.6, 7.1.7, and 7.1.8, of the Standard

and Testing Facility Manual, Revision 8, dated 6/79, and verified during

the inspection that the licensee's commitment to the Duke Topical QA Program

,

in the recordkeeping area were implemented as described in the above men-

tioned Manual. This item is closed.

(Closed) Item (369/78-39-27) Standards and Testing Facility - Out of

Calibration Controls. The inspector reviewed Section 13.5.2 of the

Standard and Testing Facility Manual Revision 7, dated 12/78, and

determined that adequate controls are in place to assure that out of

calibration and/past due for calibration instruments are not used for

safety-related work. This item is closed.

(Closed) Item (369/78-39-27) Standards and Testing Facility - Trend

Analysis. The inspector reviewed Sections 15.5.1, 15.5.2 and 15.5.3

Revision 7, dated 12/78, and determined by the review and a discussion that

adequate Trend Analysis is being performed at the facility. This item is

closed.

(Open) Item (369/78-39-29), McGuire Station Trend Analysis. The inspector,

in discussion with the licensee, determined that McGuire Station had not

yet implemented a system by which trend analysis of safety-related equip-

ment failures could be performed.

The Administration Policy Manual for Nuclear Stations additionally does not

sufficiently describe the trend analysis requirement. The above informa-

tion was discussed with the licensee and the inspector was informed that

the Admiristration Policy Manual would be revised to describe the requirement.

Until the licensee has established a program to implement trend analysis

of safety-related equipment failures, this item remains open.

(Closed) Item (369/78-39-30) Housekeeping. The inspector reviewed OCD-1,

Housekeeping During the Operations Phase of Nuclear Stations, Revision 4,

dated 4/79, which requires inspections to be performed on a scheduled basis

to assure the adequacy of cleanness and housekeeping practices in work
